Sulfated compounds from marine organisms

Comp Biochem Physiol B Biochem Mol Biol. 1998 Jan;119(1):1-51. doi: 10.1016/s0305-0491(97)00168-5.

Abstract

More than 500 sulfated compounds have been isolated from marine organisms so far but most of them originate from two phyla only, Spongia and Echinodermata. The sulfated compounds are presented according to the phyla they have been identified from and to their chemical structures. Biological activities, when available, are also given. Macromolecules have also been included in this review but without structural details.
